Disseminated dermatological symptoms in chronic cases of Neurocutaneous Syndrome (NCS) or Morgellons

چکیده

We are reporting on eight cases of chronic Neurocutaneous Syndrome (NCS) exhibiting extreme dermatological symptoms. Dermatological symptoms are usually preceded by intermediate neurological stages of crawling and pin pricking sensations. We have published many articles on NCS but pictures of extreme dermatology and associated cases have not been previously reported. The photos included in this report were taken during initial examination at Parasitology Center, Inc. (PCI) between 1993 and 2004. We have developed a protocol that successfully resolves the symptoms of NCS. “Delusional parasitosis” and Morgellons disease cases should be assigned to NCS and treated as such.
